The alarm from box % at 7.45 a. m. yester-
day was caused by small fire in the fourth
story of Shaw, Cooling g. Cos. shoe manu.
factory on Middle street. The fire originated
near a steam pipe in the cutting room.
A hole about ten feet square in the

damage to the building. The stock of Shaw,
Cooling & Co. was damaged to the extent of
from $4,000 to $4,000, as estimated by Mr..
Shaw, the damage being due mostlyto smoke
and water. The stock is insured for about
$40, 900 through the agencies of w. ID. Little
and Prentiss Loring. After the fire oil cloth
was thrown over the cases of goods to avert
damage by the dripping water.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
ST. LAWRENCE ST. CHURCH.


There was very interesting anniversary
Sabbath School concert at this church yester
day afternoon, at which a pleasing pro-
gramme, consisting of Rotations, singing,
&C., was carried out. The Rotations by the
younger members were particularly well rem
dered, as was also the singing by chorus OF
boys and girls. The reading by Miss Anna
Cobb calls for especial mention, and the sing
ing by quartette composed of Misses Addie
and Hattie Weeks and Messrs. Shaw and
Menish, was perhaps the most enjoyable
number of the.programme.
We noticed In the record of the past year,
as read, that the school ranks first in average
attendance and fourth in membership among
the schools of this denomination in the State.
Eighteen members of the school have united
with the church during the year, and there
have been two deaths.

The Linnnr Code of Turkey.

A common impression prevails to the effect
that the Turks, among their other virtues,
number that of sobriety. This cannot be
literally true, for our late minister, Mr. Cox,
has been investigating the matter The
Turks have laws upon the subject of drunken
ness and its punishment, and this is one of
The clauses: "Intemperance is proved either
by admission Of the person accused, or by
witnesses who have seen him in the act of
drinking. The flavor of wine from ones
breath is not sufficient proof; he may have
eaten ounces, which give the same odor."
Of course, every man who is fond of the bot
tie will lay it on ounces. 1t is possible that
ounces supply in Turkey the place of cloves
In American bar rooms. Very few men will
admit beink drunk, even when their tongues
and legs become hopelessly tangled. In view
of the punishment provided in Turkey for
the offense, it is presumed that ounces have
to bear heavy burden. Punishment for
intoxication is, good advice for the first
Uime;' a severe ACCOMPLISHMENT for the second
time; and for every subsequent time eighty
blows of the cudgel over the stripped body.
The striker, in operating, must not lift his
hand higher than his shoulders, and the.club
he uses for this occasion must be short one"

He had a box at her performances every
night, and personally thanked her for the
pleasure she had given him. She found the
most p preciatiYe audiences in Rio, Havana
and N.sxico Gill she liked not. Her esti-
mate Of her audiences there is that they were
stupid. unappreciatiye and ignorant. Havana
and Mexico went crazy over her. In Havana
the French consul gave private bull fight in
her honor, at which young Bernhardt and
members of the company acted as matadors
1t is only fair to say that the bull was an
amateur also.
Nine Bernhard received various presents
on her late trip. Monkeys tiger cats and
other beasts have been given her without
stint In South America she said with

an adventure"

This wonderful woman dresses with the
same extraordinary art and grace which
characterized her costumes when here be-
fore She has really done much TO show how
lovely a woman can dress who discards
fashion and follows beauty.
OF all the roles assumed by this eccentric
tragedienne none are so interesting as the
role of Bernhardt. Her own personality ex-
GELS all the characters in her art. She has
that in her which compels the attention of
the world-the world she defies, despises and
often insults She has demonstrated Tie old
Frenchman's assertion that the world is
dog. Show it that you fear it, and it will
tear you in pieces. Defy it and it viii hang

Three or four years ago a correspondent
told how one day Mime. Belnhardt, while
seated at the wings of the stage surrounded
by a group of admirers, enjoying her
tTiumphs, jumped to her feet and with Il
somber expression cried out: "What life!
what a life! am dying of emui." One of the
gentlemen present ventured to remark that
she was rather difficult to please, as there
was no existence in modern times comparable
TO hers, and one would have to go back to the
age of the Czarinas, like Catherine II, to find
a woman so obeyed, praised, applauded and
adored. "Well, gentlemen" she said, 81 am,
perhaps, rather exacting; but the end! ala
the end! How will it all finish? hope the

glance around at the little circle of admirers,
she said: "Tell me frankly how you think |
shall end" At first no one answered; hut
finally young actor, who was playing in the
cast of "Frou-Frou," shrugged his shoulders.
and, with drawing accent of the Partisan
gamin, said "You How will you end? 1t
does not take much to guess at that As a
box opener in theatre" Nine Sarah took
this in good part and insisted that she found
his answer very amusing.

Mining in Mexico.

American capital is investing heavily in
rIexican mines now. Moneyed mining men
are discovering that it is much cheaper to
work a mine in Mexico than it is to develop a
similar property on this side of the border.
Here we have to pay IS day to miners, and
it takes first class mine to pay its operating
expenses There we can hire ordinary Next
can labor for about seventy-five cents a day,
and the highest priced miners-thoSe who
work by contract and are paid by the vara of
depth to which they blast-will make only
about S1.50 day. In that respect alone the
mining superintendent saves one-half his
money by employing Mexicans. They are
